I've just ordered a hd650 and I'm wondering what I could use to feed it.

I know that the hd650 is not the most picky headphone around and that I could certainly live with a more modest amp but I'd like to remove all the "what-ifs" from my mind and cure my G.A.S for a while..

The Headroom Ultra Desktop Amp is another amp that I love with the HD-650. It is a bit warmer sounding than my Grace Design m903 which pairs well with the HD-650. It is priced around $1600 and is the highest quality and best sounding amp Headroom offers that they hand make themselves.

The thing to note about the HD-650 headphone is that it sounds quite veiled at low volumes. If driven well and turned up to loud listening levels the HD-650 can sound amazing out of almost any decent amp be it tube or solid state.

Thanks for the ideas, I knew about the ha-160 but I didn't think of the headroom. I will investigate.

The veil isn't a problem for me, even though a little bit of added clarity wouldn't hurt (especially for low volume listening...)
